DAMD again: Japanese tuner gives G35 the Aston treatment
Imitation, they say, is the sincerest form of flattery. So then the Japanese must really love Aston Martins, because from Japanese tuning house DAMD (the same people who brought you this custom Mitsu Outlander) comes yet another Aston Martin look-alike.
Like the 350Z roadster we brought you a while back, DAMD's Nissan Skyline 350GT/Infiniti G35 Coupe puts an Aston snout on a Datsun. Aside from the custom front end and a set of ghastly chrome rims, the rest of the coupe seems pretty much stock.
The Aston G and the Aston Z are both part of the Black X Metal line-up, in collaboration with ANCEL, and also includes an Aston-nozed MX-5 (similar to this one).

Combining two of my favorite cars (makes) into one vehicle? What could go wrong?! Apparently a lot. This just doesn't work for me. The initial designs are just too far apart, and resulting mutant, love-child looks funny to me.

This is retarded. Why not add the lambo doors? How about a Ferrari badge?
This is bastardization!

Utterly craptastic.
Honestly, it wouldn't be a total loss if it weren't for those gawd-awful rims.

I'm glad I can touch-type because I think I just went blind. That brief glimpse of automotive horror was truly terrible. I think I even feel a hand going numb.

Wow, it actually came out looking pretty nice.
Not sure that's what I would do with my G35 but I can respect it.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

That doesn't appeal to me at all. I like the G35 just the way it is. The coupe is, in my opinion, one of the best looking cars in the world.

Stop the maddness. I agree with #14.

I agree. The coupe is quite practically a perfect design just the way it is. It's timeless, and I personally think it looks even better than the Infiniti Coupe concept car that is most likely the look of the next G35 coupe. If you absolutely must make aesthetic changes, a subtle aero kit and a small, flat spoiler are really all you need.

I failed to also say that's just wrong. That's as bad as video I saw on YouTube putting shoes on that dog and making it walk in public lol. It just plain didn't work.
